earth v2026.6
— june
new event: the middle east is happening again
nobody queued for this. can't skip the cutscene. oil prices felt it before you did.
the grind got worse:
-15 buying power — groceries cost like you're being punished personally. they "know about it."
-20 talking to real humans — half the internet is bots now and you genuinely can't tell anymore.
-5 having a job — the robots can do hands now. that was the one thing.
-10 future planning — nobody knows what next year looks like so we're all just pretending.
-30 attention span — the scroll is infinite. you're never getting those hours back.
buffs:
+15 cope — new ai model dropped so everyone's distracted for a week.
that's the only buff. that's it.
won't fix:
the sun came out once and everyone lost it. can't reproduce. marking as intended.
compensation:
they're not giving you anything. there's a world cup though. they're really hoping you look at that instead. it'll probably work.
earth v2026.5
— may
new event: the variant nobody asked for
they teased a new outbreak. everyone just kept scrolling. they quietly canceled it.
the grind got worse:
-10 going outside — you don't even want to anymore. it's expensive out there.
-15 housing — you will rent forever. they're not fixing it.
-5 feeling okay — just a general background dread. works on all devices.
-10 the weather — it's just wrong now. hot when it shouldn't be.
buffs:
+20 staying in bed — it's the only meta that works.
won't fix:
grocery prices didn't go back down. apparently that's just the new baseline.
compensation:
they're not giving you anything. they leaked a video game trailer to keep you quiet.
